Hi! I'm Ty. I am a profesional artist that travels and sells my art at artshows and Galleries. I work in oil. We should learn something new everyday so I firmly believe every painting should be a "Study". So enjoy my study and exploration of art.

I have painted quite a bit the last week or so. I have 13 new "Volare" and two new women at dusk. It seems like I've been in kinda a funky mood though. Not really sad or a bad mood just really quiet. I'm trying to calm and content myself. With all the crazy news and uneasiness in the world lately I think if one can calm and content themselves they are so much ahead of the rest that it is an accomplishment...

About Me

Ty Kelly was born 1971 in Casper, WY and moved to Oklahoma City, OK in 1994. He has been painting since the early age of eleven but only became concerned about making it into a career once in Oklahoma. Soon after he began studying art from the renowned Russian artist, Igor Koutsenko, who influences many of the images throughout Ty’s art. You have to know the rules before you break them, and this is where Ty learned them.
Today Ty’s style is a mixture of whimsical fantasy and skewed perceptions. He has a wide range of mediums that he has worked with, such as oils, watercolor, pastels and pencils to name a few. Ty now is concentrating his work to be created in pastels. He and his family are currently residing in Oklahoma City, were he conceptualizes and produces his whimsical body of art. Ty has done numerous commissions for private collectors, and currently exhibits his art throughout the United States.
